ASSEMBLY OF THE STEM

You must first fit your headset onto your frame (please refer to the installation instructions for your 795 BLADES RS frame).
The fork's pivot is not cut when the frame is delivered. It allows a height adjustment of 0 to 50 mm using spacers 7 and 8 (Fig. 1). You can, therefore, easily change your stem height and thanks to the slot on the back of spacers 7 and 8 (Fig. 3) you won't have to disconnect the handlebar liner.
1 / Thread onto the pivot of your fork the number of spacers 7 and 8 (Fig. 1) needed for you to position yourself properly.
2 / Place stem 1 (Fig. 1) on the fork pivot ensuring that the rear clamping screws are loosened.
3 / You have two choices: you can leave the fork pivot uncut in which case follow the rest of the instructions, otherwise go to the CUTTING THE FORK PIVOT section.

4 / Place on the top of the stem the number of carbon rings 9 (Fig. 1) needed to have a total of 50 mm of spacer for example:
- If you have 20 mm spacers 7 and 8 (Fig. 1), you need to use 30 mm of carbon rings 9 (Fig. 1).
- If you have 5 mm spacer 8 (Fig. 1), you need to use 45 mm of carbon rings 9 (Fig. 1).
5 / Place the expander in the fork (see § 795 BLADE RS expander).
6 / Tighten your stem on the pivot to a torque of 8 Nm.
7 / Apply the carbon assembly paste (supplied with your stem) to the handlebars at the point where the stem attaches, and to the stem (inside of body and clamp), ensuring the screw heads and threads remain clean.
8 / Fit your handlebar onto the stem, tighten the screws to a torque of 6 Nm in a cross pattern (Fig. 4).
9 / Route your ADH 2 handlebar (recommended) (See instructions for ADH2 handlebar), or some other handlebar which will fit a 31.8 mm diameter.

CUTTING THE FORK

WARNING : Cutting the fork pivot cannot be undone ! You will not be able to reach the "high" positions of the stem once the pivot has been cut ! If you have any doubt whatsoever about cutting the pivot, try it first with an uncut pivot to make sure that the cut is necessary.
1 / Place the number of spacers 7 and 8 (Fig. 1) that you want to position yourself properly.
2 / Thread your stem on spacers 7 and 8 (Fig. 1), following steps 4, 5 and 6 of the STEM ASSEMBLY chapter.

3 / Disassemble your expander and remove the carbon rings from your fork.
4 / Make a mark on your fork at the same level as your expander support surface.
5 / Cut your fork at 5mm below this mark.
6 / Reassemble your stem and expander according to the recommendations of the instructions (see § Expander).

EXPANDER INSTALLATION
1 / Ensure the steerer tube is correctly cut, 5mm below the contact surface of the expander (Fig.13). If the steerer tube is not cut, this surface will rest on the top of the spacer. Please note that if using a spacer, you must ensure it is perfectly fitted in the stem to avoid any play (see ADS stem manual).
2 / Degrease the inside of the steerer tube (with isopropyl alcohol) around the entire area the expander will fit into. Do not add any additional lubricant or grease.
3 / Loosen locking screw 2 (Fig. 12), so that the expander can be slid into the fork pivot without having to force it. Before inserting the expander into the steerer tube, ensure the cap screw is screwed in 3 full turns. The thread will fit into the cone (3), with room remaining to compress the headset.
4 / Lightly screw the expander into the steerer tube by tightening the locking screw (2) (Fig.12).
5 / Disassemble the top cap 1 (Fig.12) of the expander.
6 / Using a torque wrench with a 5mm Allen head, tighten the compression bolt 2 (Fig.12) to 8 Nm.
7 / Grease the thread and underside of the cap (1) before replacing it (Fig.12).
8 / Adjust the play in the headset by tightening the cap 1 (Fig.12) using a torque wrench with a 6mm Allen head. Ensure it is tightened to a torque between 10Nm (min) and 12Nm (max).
